Brief Description:  Oil Cooler Mounting Flange Modifications - Part 1

I noticed that when the engine was starting or shutting down that the flange on the giant IO-390 sized oil cooler was hitting the engine mount a little bit. I really didn't want to unmount the oil cooler as this is a major job, so I just got the trusty Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel and a couple of files and carefully worked the flange down. I was really quite surprised at how nice the modification came out, especially considering the tight working quarters. There's plenty of clearance now and should be free from any further interaction.
